Hyderabad: Many are aware that Mahesh Babu is often accompanied by his personal trainer when he travels. But not many know about the trainer himself, who has an envious job that others would happily take up at the drop of a hat.
Kumar Mannava from Hyderabad has been training for the past 19 years and he has been appointed Mahesh Babu’s full-time trainer since March this year. “Mahesh is an easy-going guy and he is very aware of the need for fitness,” says 36-year-old
Kumar, who earlier used to work with the actor alongside celebrity trainer Kris Gethin, who has worked with Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham.
“Because of the nature of Mahesh’s job, the training that I focus on is not just for him to have six-pack abs, but all-round fitness,” says Kumar. But the actor’s fitness regime is much more than lifting weights.
The diet comprises ingredients such as quinoa, egg white, sweet potato, organic coconut oil etc. One of the meals of the actor is a “mush”, which comprises eggs, oats etc.
“He has seven to eight meals every day, two of which are supplement shakes. You can always spot him eating after every three to four hours (minus when he is sleeping) and the training ranges between 45 to 50 minutes every day,” says Kumar.
But now, the actor’s taking a bit of downtime. “He is shooting in Switzerland and I am not travelling with him this time. His shooting lasts 18 hours every day, and with only six hours left, I can’t train him as it would strain his body. He has been gone for a week, but once he is back, we’ll pick up from where we left.”
